What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether a low dose of radiation to the small intestine can help the immune system fight cancers that have stopped responding to immunotherapy. About 48 adults with advanced lung, esophageal, or other solid tumors will receive one radiation session followed by continued immunotherapy. Researchers will track tumor shrinkage, side effects, and changes in gut bacteria to see if this approach can restore treatment effectiveness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Low-dose radiation to the intestine and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people whose cancers have stopped responding to immunotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.
